The Panthers on Monday claimed former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Jalen Jelks, a league source confirmed. Dallas released the 2019 seventh-round pick out of Oregon to make room for Everson Griffin. The Panthers won't have to make a corresponding move until Jelks clears COVID-19 testing, which typically takes 3-4 days.

I remember him now, he was one of my favorite late round DE prospects. Id say hes got a good shot at the PS, if hes in great shape. Hes perfect for the PS.

Played LT in HS.....Is this one of Rhule’s conversion players?  Beef him up will protein shakes and viola an offensive linemen is created.

I got excited when I saw # 74. That's what I get for looking at the pictures before reading the text.

Newly claimed defensive end Jalen Jelks (who was claimed on waivers from the Cowboys) was on the field today wearing #73 – tight end Andrew Vollert, who was signed only four days ago, was released – I am not kidding you. The Panthers liked Jelks and with only 80 players in camp, this decision came down to the numbers as Temarrick Hemingway (concussion) was able to return to practice, albeit in a green non-contact jersey. “This is a really hard year,” said Rhule. “Having some players get hurt early in [Keith] Kirkwood (who broke his clavicle) really just got [us] caught up in the numbers game.”

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
